Jane RR Doe’s lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court on behalf of the victim and her parents, also names as defendants North High School and the former assistant coach, Matthew Bautista.

“Before plaintiff was sexually harassed by Bautista, defendants knew that Bautista had engaged in unlawful sexually related conduct with minors in the past, and/or was continuing to engage in such conduct,” the complaint alleges. “The school district intentionally ignored multiple complaints about Bautista that allowed (him) to abuse the minor plaintiff.”

The alleged failure of the district to supervise Bautista allowed him to molest the girl at the high school and off campus, the suit states.

A TUSD representative did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

Bautista, 30, was sentenced in March in Torrance Superior Court to five years probation and a year of counseling. He pleaded no contest to a felony count of having unlawful sex with a student. He was additionally ordered to stay away from the teen, then 16, and North High until 2027.

Bautista, who became a walk-on coach at North High in August 2012, was arrested in October 2016 by Torrance police.
